Moves: They are all defined differently from PvE. In PvP, a move is defined by its power (the
amount of damage it deals), its energy (the amount of energy it generates or uses) and its
duration (the number of turns the move lasts, each turn lasts for 0.5s).
Three measures can b e defined:
▶
DPT stands for Damage per turn. Equivalent to DPS in non-PvP scenarios. Higher is better.
Only for fast moves.
▶
EPT stands for Energy per turn. Equivalent to EPS in non-PvP scenarios. Higher is better.
Only for fast moves.
▶
DPE stands for Damage per energy. DPE describes how efficiently you deal damage in
comparison to the energy spent. Higher is b etter. Only for charge moves.
Examples of PvP stats for fast moves are:

The Effective Health (EH) measures the bulkiness of a Pokémon and is computed via the
formula:
EH =
1
900
× (DEF at considered level) × (HP at considered level)
where DEF at considered level = (Base DEF + IV DEF) × coeff_level
and HP at considered level = (Base HP + IV HP) × coeff_level
Examples of coefficients are
Level Level 20 Level 25 Level 30 Level 35 Level 40
coeff_level 0.5974 0.667934 0.7317 0.76156384 0.7903
▶
For Great league (CP ≤ 1500), a good effective health must be higher than 25.

For Ultra league (CP ≤ 2500) and Master league (no CP limit), a good effective health must
be higher than 30. Below, the Pokémon remains fragile. The Pokémon can be considered as
very bulky if its effective health is higher than 35.
